i posted at a few other boards (crafting sites) some pics of what i affectionately refer to as "crafthe!!" in my house...it's taken over and i'm slowly trying to regain control. i want to be organized, but with little space and lots of stuff (that no i'm not willing to part with) it gets out of hand. i've gotten it all in one area at least now and i'm finally starting to see progress. i'll post pics of after shortly! i'm almost done!

Here's the before pics:

This is where I want to "gut" to put my sewing table - think I can do it? lol

Then this is where I'm working now - in the dining room - I want to reclaim my house from the sewing pit tho...and Ian won't stay out of it now so hopefully, behind closed doors will be better.

My table, clean above and underneath...I've hung my size chart and scissor/diaper pattern holder above it...Below are baskets of UFO and WIP's and the c-mas boxes hold pattern tracings and embroidery blanks...there's also thread boxes w/ my embroidery thread stacked under there. Behind the machines are baskets holding each machines accessories etc.

white rolling cart holds patterns, elastic, foe, snaps, and some thread - there's notions in a drawer system and bins of dyes and stuff above this too (not seen)
the black rolling drawer cart is my ribbon (most of it lol) and it can easily be moved to access my fabric in the tall cabinet - above the cabinet is shipping supplies in the bins and tools i don't want ian getting lol...

So...do i get an atta girl for conquering my mess? :happydance
